Resep dalam bhs İndonesia ada dibagian bawahSelam everybody....Merhaba from Turkey.Indonesian cuisine is one of the most vibrant and colourful cuisines in the world, full of intense flavour. It is diverse, in part because Indonesia is composed of approximately 6,000 populated islands of the total 18,000 in the world's largest archipelago,with more than 300 ethnic groups calling Indonesia their home. Many regional cuisines exist, often based upon indigenous culture and foreign influences. Indonesia has around 5,350 traditional recipes, with 30 of them considered the most important. Read here for more information about İndonesian cuisine.

My today post is one of famous İndonesian cuisine called Ayam bakar kecap. Ayam bakar literally means grilled chicken, kecap is sweet soy sauce. This sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) is one of staple condiment in İndonesian cuisine especially in javanese cuisine.Traditionally the chicken grilled over charcoal and brushed with spiced kecap manis during the grilling process which gives more intense flavour.In Java, ayam bakar usually tastes rather sweet because of the generous amount of sweet soy sauce either as marination or dipping sauce, while ayam bakarPadang, Bali, Lombok and most of Sumatra are usually spicier and more reddish in colour due to the generous amount of chilli pepper, turmeric and other spices, and the absence of sweet soy sauce.

Ayam bakar is usually served with sambal terasi (chilli sambal with terasi) or sambal kecap (sliced chilli and shallot in sweet soy sauce) as dipping sauce or condiment and slices of cucumber and tomato as garnishing as well as side dish.

Check lower part for making sambal terasi.

The process actually quite simple. The chicken pieces are partially cooked in the spice mixture (bumbu) in order for the chicken to absorb the spices. Also during grilling process the remaining spices are applied upon the chicken.

For making ahead you can partially cook the chicken with marinate spice then keep in refrigerator or freezer. Just bring to room temperature before grill them.

By the way you can use this bumbu / spices in this recipe for fish, but do not prior cook the fish just marinate the fish with the spices before grilling.

Well.... are you ready to travel to my country with this food? Start your taste adventure in your kitchen now.

Rub the chicken with lime or lemon juice and let it sit for few minute.

Blend and mashed the spices for marinate. You can use mortar and pestle or blender.

Heat the oil. Sauté the ground spices together with bay leaves, and lemongrass until fragrant and looks oily.

Mix in brown sugar (gula jawa), salt and kecap manis. Then Add in chicken thighs. Carefully stir until all chicken wrapped with spices before adding water.

Cook over medium heat just until chicken change color. Remove from heat and move to container before keep in refrigerator.

Before grill, mix 5 tbsp sweet soy sauce with 2 tbsp cooking oil, set a side. Grilled chicken over charcoal or grill pan. Smear with sweet soy sauce+oil mixture during the process. You can also smear the chicken with remaining marinate spice.
